Chef/Owner

Tommaso Barletta

Tommaso Barletta was born in the small fisherman village of Monopoli on the southeast coast of Italy. Starting at a young age, Tommaso had always dreamt of excelling within the culinary arts. Inspiration was never in short supply for young Tommaso. His greatestsource of inspiration came from his aunt Rita and uncle Giovanni who lived on a farm on the outskirts of his hometown. Young Tommaso enrolled in an Italian Culinary Institute where he began his culinary journey. At fifteen, he trained in an apprenticeship program with French chef Charles Vigny who headed the kitchen at Les Flot Bleu in Provence on France's south coast and Lake Maggiore near Milan Italy. He then continued on to England and Spain. His sense of adventure and love for travel lead him around the world cooking on cruise ships until in 1980 he finally arrived in Los Angeles where he co-opened Adriano's in Bel Air followed by Rex Il Ristorante in downtown Los Angeles. In 1983 he opened his own café in Camarillo California until 1987 where he discovered beautiful Westlake Village and opened Tuscany Restaurant now celebrating its 20th anniversary. In 2001, a more casual concept restaurant was born in the foot-hills of Oak Park, which has now come to be known and loved by its faithful neighborhood customers as Rustico Restaurant. Tommaso now entertains a great following and continues to provide further services to the community through his cooking classes at Let's Get Cooking Culinary Institute and regularly leads food and wine tours throughout Italy

Food was excellent, but the service not so good. Waiters were probably too busy. Food was deliver without explanation. Ordered two different glasses of wine. Waiter brought us two glasses of the same wine and said that they were out of the other one. Should have asked us what we wanted instead. Again, think that they were too busy to provide service.

Have loved dining at Tuscany for a very long time. However, it was busy last Saturday evening and the noise level overwhelmed the conversation. They appeared to be understaffed. Service was not as warm and attentive as in the past, and they got the orders wrong. The Halibut was uninspired. On two attempts, the bar could not produce a recognizable mojito. It was a surprisingly disappointing evening. I am hoping that management has not changed for the worse.

Valentine dinner at Tuscany, a usually outstanding restaurant. Semi-prix fixe menu (choices from a selection of appetizers, entrees, and pastries) . Food was very good, service was adequate, and atmosphere seemed hectic. Considering value received , it was quite over-priced.
